  • Hook with Roxana Hadadi (Chasing Gwyneth Paltrow: Episode 2)
    Jun 23 2026

    Gwyneth Paltrow's godfather Steven Spielberg helped her earn her SAG card by casting her in his 1991 fantasy Hook, where she plays the younger version of Maggie Smith's Wendy Darling. We're joined by Vulture critic Roxana Hadadi to talk about Gwyneth's early accent work, and why this movie is divisive even among the millennials who grew up with it. Plus: daddy issues, cozying up to the Saudis, and choosing Miles Teller over Callum Turner.

  • Shout (Chasing Gwyneth Paltrow: Season Premiere)
    Jun 17 2026

    Gwyneth Paltrow made her feature film debut in the 1991 drama Shout, where she plays Rebecca, who gets a single one-word line ("Rebecca"). We talk about Gwyneth pulling focus from Heather Graham in her brief appearances, and why this movie fails as a musical and a romance. Plus: resting your head on pancakes, finding Linda Fiorentino, and a defense of arugula in meatballs.
